A monster petition, with hundreds of signatures from across Atlanta, will urge the new mayor and council to provide funds in the January apportionment. The project, linking Buckhead to East Point, would create a fine boulevard and ease traffic congestion.

The group expects Mayor Woodward to back the plan in his inaugural address.
